Miley Cyrus Is Not a Kid Anymore; Her Knee-High Boots Prove It

Miley Cyrus is doing her favorite thing again: sexing it up in a magazine.

This time the August issue of Elle is her enabler. They want to prove that Miley is not a kid anymore. So they dressed the 16-year-old up like a real grown-up sexy lady, relying on stripper boots and push-up bras since the bedsheet-and-naked-shoulder thing didn't quite work out.

And Elle was winning the case for a minute. Kids don't dress in all this suggestive leather in the middle of the summer. Only sexy adults do, right? But then Miley talked and said silly-sounding kid stuff:

"I would pay $500 for the jeans that we make for $20. I’m really into high fashion."

Or: "The jeans are my favorite part of the entire line. Because, like, literally this is going to be good for, like, Middle America, and it will be great for kids that really want to be in fashion but that don’t have it available." (Enough with the jeans.)

We won't even get started on all her twittering. 

And you know, we get it. Miley's just in that whole "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" phase, and sure, it's kind of awkward to watch her trying to bring the sexy, kind of failing and then everyone calling her a slut.

But all she needs is time, a moment that is hers while she's in between. So this is us giving her a moment.
